MAX DEFLECTION I have seen maps of the Democratic south I am asking what percent of the Democratics in the South owned slaves
The U.S. had 395,216 slaveholders at that time, so about 1.4% of free people were classified as slave owners in the 1860 census, according to data archived by the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series at the University of Minnesota. The families of the 1.4% should pay the bill You probably think the percent is to low to bother
Conservative whites in the confederate states voted for slavery through their elected representatives,just as they did with segregation and jim crow laws.The Confedrate states reaped the benefits of slavery.They should pay the reparations.
Today dumb poor conservitive racists from the confederate south vote for the best interest of rich just as they did then.As previously stated nothing has changed with the dumb white racist conservitives in the conservitive confederate states.
FL was one of the least populated states in the union prior to the Civil War. Most of the population moved down after AC went mainstream. The majority of people in the state don't even have ties to Jim Crow let alone slavery.
There were part of the confederacy,that makes them just as responsible as every other confederate state imo.
